Happy Friday! I'm so glad this week is winding down! I've had a blast guest designing over at Everyday Cricut, but it has been ONE BUSY WEEK for me! I've found the time to create a bunch of projects, but this weekend, I think I'll spend some time with my family. :)

I have to thank both Joy and Melanie for the opportunity to be a guest designer over at Everyday Cricut. I hope you'll have me back at some point in the future!

Good Monday morning! I am so super excited today because this is the start of my guest designer week over at Everyday Cricut! I have always enjoyed all of the fabulous Cricut projects that both Joy and Melanie have day after day, not only on the Everday Cricut blog, but on their personal blogs as well!

I decided to start off with an Imagine project. This cut is from the new Imagine Word of Mouth art cartridge. I am totally in love with it, mainly because of all the fabulous sayings! And the colors are well...just perfect!

I used both a solid color and a pattern for the front of the card. And then added some super yummy burlap and hemp twine from Liz's PaperLoft Boutique. :) The buttons are from the Vintage Collection over at PaperTrey Ink. I also used pop dots to pop up the Be Happy saying.

And what's a fabulous card, without a fabulous sentiment?! These sentiments are from the Wow So Many Candles birthday stamp set over at My Creative Time.

And don't forget to tune in tomorrow for my Day 2 guest designer project...and a little sneaky peek of some ALL NEWMy Creative Time stamps! Thanks for stopping and visiting today, I hope the rest of your Monday is fabulous!

GIVEAWAY TIME!!
Everyday Cricut is having a FABULOUS giveaway this week! You can read all about it HERE!

Happy Father's Day out there to all those wonderful Fathers! My boys and I are spending the day with dad and just doing whatever he wants to do. So I guess that means we'll be fishing or out riding the Razor. :)

But first, here is the Father's Day card for my hubby and the fabulous father of our two boys! :)

Is it possible to use a Cricut AND a Cameo on one project? Why, yes it is! And didn't it turn out perfect?!

I made this super "cool" card for my nephew! I haven't been able to visit him for a while, and so I thought he needed a card. :)

On the Father's Day Cricut cartridge, there isn't the white background layer for the car. Since I wanted it filled in, I just adhered the white cardstock to it and cut around by hand. Worked perfectly. Although, I wish it would have had it on the cartridge. Or the option to blackout a cut in the Gypsy...that would be quite useful! And on another note, my E2 is still not working with my Gypsy. Provo Craft had me try the format and restore...did.not.work. Hmmm. Anyway, so I'm still using my trusty old Expression. Which by the way works perfectly 5 years later. If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it!

Hi there again! It's been a busy week this week! But I just HAD to use this new file from My Scrap Chick! And if you haven't already, head on over to My Scrap Chick to check out the newly designed website! there is now a search feature and a new member section that will allow you to track your purchases and freebies! I'm super excited about it!

Anywho...one of the newest files is this Picnic Basket and Sandwich set! Once I saw it, I had to make time to cut it with my Cameo. It is super easy to put together, and then all you have to do is embellish it. :)

The patterned papers are digital papers from Jessica Sprague and printed on my Epson printer. This set is the Cosmo Cricket Mr. Camper paper pack.

I knew the Jaded Blossom Food and Drink stamp set would be PERFECT for it!

Stop by again tomorrow for another new project. And next week, we'll start some sneaky peeks of the newest release over at My Creative Time. And trust me, like I say every month, YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS THIS RELEASE! I mean it!

Hello Monday! I guess if you weren't ready for it, Monday decided to come anyway. :) This morning over at My Creative Time it's time for another Scrappy Monday Layout Challenge! All you have to do is create a layout based on the sketch.

You are free to flip any of the elements around just as long as they are there. And don't forget to use those fabulous My Creative Time stamps...they work on layouts too! Then head on over to My Creative Time to link up your project.

Good morning! I hope that you are all having a fabulous weekend! I've got a movie planned with my boys and then I'm going to spend some more time in my craft room playing. :)

But first, I have a thinking of you / sympathy card for a co-worker who recently lost a family member. These cards are always so hard for me to make. But with the help of some fabulous My Creative Time stamps and dies, I think it turned out perfectly.

Hi there again! Today over at My Creative Time, it's time for the Throwback Thursday Challenge! The theme for the challenge this month is color! Using the following picture, create any type of project you want using the colors in the pic and ANY older Cricut cartridge!

Then head back on over to My Creative Time to link up your projects before June 20th. Easy peasy...we can't wait to see what you link up!

For my project today, I decided to use the Just Because Cricut cartridge. This super cute cut is on page 52. I actually had no idea what I wanted to do, until I saw this cut and thought that it went perfectly with this My Creative Time sentiment! Then...my Cricuts decided that they didn't want to play nice with me. So I spent all evening updating both my Expression and by E2. My E2 (even after updating) still only cuts one layer of the cut and then freezes. :( Not sure why and it's never done it before. So if anyone has any tips for me...I'm all ears! I wasn't able to get a hold of Provo Craft today, I'm hoping that I make it time tomorrow.
